This morning for one of Charlie’s lessons I asked him to write and perform a song he had written. I let him know I didn’t care what style of music it was and could even be Rap. As long as it was one he created and had performed. I let Charlie know he could use instruments around the house to help enhance his song. Today Charlie and I wanted to share this new Homeschool Resource Saint Paddy’s Day Music.
I was waiting for Charlie to complete his song we decided to look up the different music and since I had forgotten to share songs with him on Saint Patrick’s day we went ahead this morning, and I shared some sites based on this Holiday. Later in the week, I plan on finding song related to Easter. As well as have Charlie create his song or play. Music allows Charlie to not only use his imagination. But it will enable Charlie to get up and move around.
